John Banion the firebrand right wing TV host asks the president a nasty question during a press conference. The next day, while golfing, he is abducted by aliens and "probed." His reaction is to convince the nation that many of us are being abducted. But the truth is even weirder. The Million-Alien March is 1/6 imagined two decades before it happened. Brilliant read.

As a publicist by trade, I was fascinated by this "classic" of the field. Meet the business-friendly, New Deal hating ad man of yesteryear. He dreams of selling as much a possible to a post-war world that needs supermarkets and suburbs.

Calgon, take me away!
